Barca face Celta

Gerard Pique

Barcelona will be back close to full strength as Gerard Pique is available for the first time in La Liga this season after serving a four-game ban, whilst Andres Iniesta and Luis Suarez will return after being rested for Sunday's 4-1 win over Levante.

However, they will face a Celta side full of confidence after a 2-1 win away at Sevilla moved them up to fourth.

"They are one of the most enjoyable teams to watch not just in Spain but in Europe," said Barca boss Luis Enrique about his old side.

"If you like football, you should watch Celta. It doesn't matter who they play against, they play their game with attacking players and an offensive mentality."

Atletico Madrid could move to the top of the table for 24 hours at least when they host Getafe in a Madrid derby at the Vicente Calderon on Tuesday.

Los Rojiblancos showed their strength in depth as Fernando Torres and Angel Correa came off the bench to hand them a 2-0 win at Eibar on Saturday.

However, despite their impressive close season in the transfer market, defender Jose Maria Gimenez has insisted it is being the best of the rest outside Barca and Real that remains their priority.

"We are going for third place and if during the season we can challenge then we don't have to lie about it. We need to compete like we did in the year we won the league."

David Moyes also faces a crucial match that could define his future at Real Sociedad when the Basques travel to Granada on Tuesday.

Sociedad have taken just two points from their opening four games with discontent towards the former Manchester United manager heightened by Saturday's 3-2 defeat at home to Espanyol.
